"Ever since I followed the Dragon Archduke and became a soldier of the Elanthir Empire, I have never fought such a frustrating battle." Adair crumpled the message into a ball and threw it at his feet, and Adair snorted helplessly.
One sound.
In the position he held, the enemy did not advance forward for 10 days. However, due to enemy attacks in other directions, he had to constantly deploy troops to support battles in other directions.
At the beginning, he didn't feel the pressure, but soon he realized that he had fewer and fewer reserves that could be used.
"The armored units have been transferred, and most of the missile units have also been transferred. Now even the light infantry is not spared... Sigh..." Adair thought of the troops that had been transferred away these days, and he felt inexplicably bad.
Got up.
He looked at the position in the distance and complained: "Forget about the masters, most of the magician troops have been transferred to the north. The swordsmen and the masters of the elves are all defending in the west... The god puppets and the grenadiers have been moved to the north.
Transferred to the south."
Originally, these elite troops gathered together and could launch a counterattack at any time, creating pressure on the opposing guard troops.
But now these troops have been dispersed and mobilized, so there are very few troops that Adair can devote to counterattack.
Without these elite troops, the dragon masters have begun to turn into field firefighting teams. They can only rush to the scene of the accident to stabilize the defense line when the enemy breaks through the position.
This passive style of play also caused casualties to the dragon troops, and the number of ordinary troops in Adair's hands has also been greatly reduced.
The two clone armored divisions originally used as support have now been transferred to other defense lines to perform tasks.
Of the 5 clone infantry divisions and 5 puppet masters originally assigned to Adair, only 2 are now left.
"That's good, at least we still have enough supplies now." A dragon commander comforted.
Adair nodded depressedly and agreed with him: "Yes, at least our supplies are still guaranteed, otherwise this battle will come to an end."
The only good thing is that because underground bunkers extend in all directions and railways support transportation, the frontline troops do not lack any supplies at all.
The daily supplies still arrive on time, the ammunition is sufficient and the food is good, so everyone is very enthusiastic about fighting. It's just that they are a little frustrated because of the constant retreat.
"The message says to pull down the two clone grenadier divisions that have lost part of their organization and take them to the rear to rest..." Adair looked at his men and said.
"Then our remaining troops will be unable to hold on to the entire defense line." The dragon commander immediately became nervous.
"Yes, so what General Andre means is that we abandon the current defense line and retreat to the new defense line behind." Adair said helplessly.
He paused and then added: "When we get there, we will be supplemented by two garrison puppet robot divisions, which will temporarily relieve the pressure on our troops."
"Again another position?" The dragon commander was stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "We have been here for 10 days, and the enemy has not been able to break through our defense line. Now let us give up here... It's really..."
Adair had no choice but to look down at the crumpled message at his feet and said with emotion: "If two more divisions are transferred, I will only have two reserve teams of robot light infantry divisions.
The entire defense line will be in danger..."
He glanced at the map and added: "In addition, by sticking here, we have objectively lengthened the defense line and increased the defense area. In fact, the gain outweighs the gain."
Because in the past few days, the entire defense line of the Eilanhir Empire, most of the defense zones have been compressed. Only the defense zone in charge of the more elite Adair is still capable of local counterattacks and fighting with the watchers.
.
Under this situation, the entire defense line gradually turned into an egg shape. The defense line stationed by Adair did not move, and the other defense lines were compressed by the enemy.
Forming such a shape increases the attack area of the entire circular defense line, and indeed increases the difficulty of defense.
"It's impossible not to leave. If we continue to hold on here, there will be a danger of being broken through by the enemy on both wings." Finally, Adair had to complain.
He actually knew very well that Andre could not find any elite troops to help him consolidate the defensive positions on both wings.
Since the day Adair arrived at Higgs 5, he has seen more than 20 nuclear bombs attacking the enemy's rear. If you include the number of nuclear bombs dropped previously, the total number has been close to 30.
In fact, this is also close to the upper limit of the number of nuclear bombs hoarded by Higgs 5. Don't be too small. In fact, the nuclear weapons of the Elanshir Empire are in short supply.
First of all, there are too many planets that need to be defended and that the enemy may attack, so nuclear weapons must be prepared on these planets to be used as a trump card.
In this way, tens of thousands of nuclear bombs will be dispersed, and eventually there will be dozens of nuclear bombs on one planet, which is not a small number.
In addition, with the emergence of the Airanhir Empire's space carrier aircraft, space carrier aircraft that lacked strike means are also using nuclear bombs as their main strike weapons.
Therefore, tens of thousands of carrier-based aircraft occupy a large amount of nuclear weapons production capacity. The nuclear missiles stored on hundreds of Giant-class aircraft carriers are much more than the nuclear bombs stored on the planet.
If Higgs 5 hadn't been strengthened as a key defense area earlier, it's hard to say whether there would have been so many nuclear bombs.
Andre may still have about 10 nuclear bombs in his hand that can be used. Once these nuclear bombs are used up, his means of interfering with the enemy's rear will be almost exhausted.
It is actually unrealistic to expect fighter units, because the current Higgs 5 fighter unit has suffered too many losses in the atmosphere, and has even gradually lost air superiority.
After receiving a large number of sky warship reinforcements half a month ago, the Airanhill Empire's fighter force has indeed stabilized its defensive air supremacy. From time to time, it can take the initiative to attack and compete with the Prowlers for air supremacy in the theater.
However, as the battle continued, the Sky Fleet, which had almost no supplies, began to suffer from an insufficient number of carrier-based aircraft. Today's Sky Battleship, having half of the fighter jets left is considered very good.
Already feeling that the Air Force was becoming more and more strenuous, this was one of the main reasons why Adair decided to retreat. He knew that the Air Force could no longer guarantee air superiority in the existing airspace, and they had to give up part of the theater to save the Air Force's manpower.
…
"Oh!" In the universe outside the sy-9 experimental satellite, the test pilot, who has become familiar with the control of the new space humanoid weapon after several days of practice, is feeling the feeling of flying in the universe.
It really felt like he was flying in the universe. He had completely let go of himself! The huge thrust of the thruster took the experimental body past the huge exploration-class destroyer. The test pilot even let himself pilot it coquettishly.
The aircraft's body performed a series of rolling maneuvers.
"Experimental data shows that the latest experimental aircraft's reaction speed is 35% faster than that of the Z-type fighter!" An experimenter sat in front of the computer and said in surprise while looking at the data above.
Next to him, another experimenter also agreed excitedly: "In addition, its range is almost twice that of the Z-type fighter. No matter from every aspect, I think we have succeeded."
The new body is much more powerful than the previous fighter, and the weapons and equipment developed for the new body have also begun to take shape.
The first is the armor-piercing nuclear bomb used to attack large enemy warships. After improvement, it is installed in a launcher similar to a rocket launcher, allowing this huge body to be carried on the shoulders for launch.
A firing mode similar to that of a recoilless rifle can ensure that the missile does not affect the flight of the aircraft when launched, ensuring hit accuracy.
At the same time, the magic protection device specially developed for this aircraft has also entered the experimental stage. This thing is actually not a new product, it is just a slightly modified device on the Z-type fighter.
Because there are a lot of empty places for energy in the body, the defense level of the magic defense barrier is higher this time, which also increases the defense power of this experimental body in disguise.
At the same time, this new type of body is also compatible with old weapons and equipment. The nuclear missiles mounted on the Z-type fighter can be mounted directly on the arms, which is equivalent to carrying three nuclear bombs at the same time, and the attack capability is also stronger.
In terms of self-defense weapons or combat weapons, the new body is planned to use a newly developed 50 mm caliber electromagnetic cannon, which can be used in a handheld manner. At the same time, combined with the latest technology, the Airanhill Empire also provides this kind of
The new mecha has a very interesting weaponry.
This starts with the inner parts of the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect. Condensing energy into a lightsaber is a spell of the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect. After the disdainful efforts of the technical staff, the Airanhill Empire simplified the formation of the Sword Peak Mountain Guard Formation.
, combined with spirit stone technology, finally developed a new lightsaber technology.
Because it only requires spiritual stones and a mountain-protecting formation to transform into an energy sword, the development of this technology is actually not difficult.
The only problem is that due to the energy supply problem of the spirit stones and the size of the magic circle, there is no way to reduce the size of this lightsaber and turn it into a lightsaber that can be used by ordinary soldiers.
It is also because of its size that among the many high-precision weapons of the Elanthir Empire, this new lightsaber technology is actually not of much use.
Now, this seemingly useless technology is directly applied to new experimental organisms.
The image of a humanoid machine that can be equipped with an energy sword is not unconventional at least to Chris, the Emperor of the Elanshir Empire.
Even the shoulder-mounted nuclear bomb launcher was an inexplicable "nostalgic" piece of equipment created by His Majesty the Emperor.
In short, after combining with the electromagnetic cannon, energy sword, and nuclear bomb launcher, the brand new experimental body really has the flavor of "Gundam".
The only thing that makes Chris a little regretful is that the thing he finally built is more like a Zaku than a Gundam.
The curved outer armor, which is based on armor, is more about defense. Because of advanced technology, there is no need for so many antennas. There is only one highly integrated antenna, installed in the middle of the head, which is no different from Zaku's antenna...
In the end, even Chris had to compromise and name this new space weapon "Zaku"! Yes, just like in the cartoon, Zaku entered the battlefield earlier than Gundam, and may become the Elici
The standard weapons and equipment of the Er Empire.
"The experiment is not over yet. The first dedicated electromagnetic cannon will be sent for testing tomorrow. Then you can conduct the weapon mounting experiment." In the earphones, the experimenter's words were full of excitement.
"Is there only electromagnetic gun?" The test pilot felt the universe as if everything was in front of his eyes, and he was also very excited.
"Yes, there are only electromagnetic guns for the time being. The energy sword will take more than ten days to conduct safety experiments... Of course, the nuclear launcher is simple." The experimenter answered in a routine manner.
Weapon research and development is not the responsibility of the SY-9 experimental satellite. It has to be sent from other experimental bases. The nuclear bomb needs approval from the security department. After all, in this situation, every nuclear bomb is an important strategic matter.
Materials.
"Nuclear bomb? Do I still want to test launch a nuclear bomb?" The pilot was stunned, and then asked.
The experimenter didn't mean to hide it, and said: "Yes, theoretically it is like this. This is also the meaning above!"
The test pilot flew the experimental body in a large circle back to Sy-9 and said, "Okay! I haven't launched a nuclear bomb yet, so this is a good experience."
"Come on! If we succeed here, the losses on the front line may be reduced by more than 50%! It is of great significance!" the experimenter solemnly said to the pilot.
"I understand! Now test the three-dimensional maneuverability of the aircraft! Three, two, one! Start!" The test pilot driving the aircraft replied solemnly.
Soon, he skillfully adjusted the position of his legs, and the thrusters behind him swung almost at the same time.
In just a moment, almost a right angle was drawn, and the machine body began to maneuver vertically. With the flash of the engine, it quickly turned into a meteor, disappearing among the vast stars.
"My current speed has exceeded that of the Z-type fighter! The body is still stable! I can control it easily!" In the cockpit, the test pilot reported while adjusting the flight attitude.
In front of his eyes, there was flight attitude data. As he continued to roll, the grid representing the absolute horizon also continued to rotate and roll.
"Very good! Keep it up! We are recording data here!" In the earphones, the experimenter's voice was full of relaxation.
